Still hurts when you drop them on your feet though lol.

All the time I've been in France I've never seen a single S-chassis car so can only imagine getting parts is near on impossible.

Ok,

With your advices, remove the starter was easy, thanks!

Some pics:







I saw some new/reconditioned starter, in France, but:

-they have a "cover" on gear area: http://www.altdiscount.com/affichear...mmat=0&moteur=

According too me this fit: http://www.altdiscount.com/affichear...mmat=0&moteur=

I found this site too: http://www.woodauto.com/Unit.aspx?Ma...I&Ref=S114322A

Can a 1 kilowatt model fit on mine? What is the cover on th e gear, like a cap?

Ok, some news...

It seems it isn't the starter, test mine and an another.
I tested many relays (specialy gray relay near battery, controlled for ignition right?).
battery charged and tested

Ok, let me explain my troubles:

2 wires fits on the starter: one black/yellow little size ordered by ignition, one black/red normal size which go to the battery.

When the plugs are on the starter (metal shield of starter on a ground of the car), when i join together the 2 wires said upper, by an external wire, starter work perfectly (gear exit and turn), but when i turn the key only nothing appear.

I know that my english isn't good, but in my mind it's the black/yellow wire that is in fault because the continuity of the "normal" wire exist, no doubt about it.

The solution i expect to install a start button relay (how many Amperes?) to command the ignition.

Do you have any hint or help about my starter trouble?

Cheers.

Yeah sounds like the starter signal wire at the back of the igntion barrel is at fault.

I would trace it back to there before thinking about adding a button

According to the diagram where is this wire pass?

Cheers.

Ok is this pic correct i'd like to fix this tomorrow:

i had exactly the prob you have, i was on holiday and i turned the key, nothing, i temp wired a switch from the batt through switch to starter, was fine, and then after about 1 and half weeks it worked again, this was about 6 year ago, and has never had a prob since, so i cant solve your prob, but i can say, temp wire a switch in for now while you test the rest.
